From Wikipedia:
In 1999 Northwest defeated Carson-Newman College 58-52 in four overtimes to defend the title. The game was the longest in NCAA football playoff history in number of extra periods, surpassing six contests that were extended by three overtimes. The broadcast analyst on ESPN called it the best college football game he'd ever seen. The game solidified ESPN's interest in Division II football, prompting ESPN to cover the semi-final games.
Knew nothing about either team, nothing about either school, hadn't even watched a Division 2 football game before (in fact I only watched because it was the only game on that afternoon), yet to this day this is one of the best college football games I have ever seen.
This was the second of the Bearcats six national championships!
I was very fortunate to be there; most incredible game I've ever seen!
